How many societies in Queenstown were struck off?
The register lists 15 societies at Queenstown addresses as Removed, of which 13 were still on the 1908 Act and had never reregistered under the 2022 Act.
Why were so many Queenstown societies removed at once?
They were not removed individually. The Incorporated Societies Act 2022 gave every existing society until 5 April 2026 to reregister, and everything that had not done so came off the register together the next day — in Queenstown and everywhere else in New Zealand.
What kind of Queenstown societies were affected?
Every kind, but community or residents societys are the largest single group among the 15 removed in Queenstown. Clubs, churches, residents associations and cultural societies all appear on the list.
Can a Queenstown society still be restored?
Yes. Restoration stays open until 6 April 2032 for any of the 15 societies listed here, provided the application comes from someone who was an officer or member on the day it was removed.
